The International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC) is an organization seeking membership from those with scientific, scholarly and technical interests and responsibilities in:

• the climatology and meteorology of built-up areas, 
• exchange processes between the urban "surface" and the overlying boundary layer, 
• urban air quality, 
• wind and turbulence in the city, 
• measurement, modeling and remote sensing of urban atmospheric and surface characteristics at all scales, 
• micro-scale processes and patterns associated with urban landscape elements (buildings, canyons, parks, roads etc), 
• building climatology, 
• biometeorology and bioclimatology within urban ecosystems, including human comfort and hazards, 
• the inclusion of urban atmospheric processes into design and planning and the modelling of weather, and 
• the representation of urban landscapes in models of climate at meso-scales.

The IAUC sponsors urbclim, an email distribution list devoted to the above topical areas and closely-related ones.  For more information on urbclim, click on the "Urban Climate List" link to the left.
